What's this Maria stuff, Charlie? Is it a subtle insult? No, it's you talking and you are not a subtle fellow! I have been told about a former oster here who I'm supposed to write like. That means nothing. I've seen people write like you before. They were funny. So are you.

Charlie, you are one of nature's silly people. I'm sure if I met you, I'd go away from you later, gently shaking my head, wondering how it could be that there could be such a person as you.

I look forward to your reply, with the usual (a) bad language or (b) unoriginaity or (c) both. I vote (c)!

I knew you wouldn't be able to resist responding. Ah life is good.

'Nature's silly people'. I rather like that.

Tell you what. I will bury the hatchet if you will. This doesn't mean we can;t disagree on substance. I will simply refrain from insults if you will do the same.

At The Speed Of Sound is a MEDIOCRE album which sounds like a masterpiece almost 30 years later because there's no standout tracks on it with Sily Love Songs, Let'Em In Beware My Love & Warm & Beautiful but Paul & his band Wings are at their best.

Insults? Nah, I've never insulted YOU. How can TRUTH be insulting? I've only ever told you truths about yourself. LOL

That was an interesting post. My call on it is that you feel consistently bested by what I say. Indeed, both of us know that the score is:

Me: manyYou: nil

Don't worry about the future, Charlie. If you behave yourself, everything will be fine. Misbehave, and I'll make the appropriate comment. That's how it should be, and that's how it will be.

You can be a bit of a petty stirrer too. You take such glee from one-upmanship...Now that's funny Ydoll. Is that appropiate? lol....What is with this point-scoring anyway?....Playground stuff. What's goin on on these forums?...I thought it would go quieter now Dirk has been restricted. Seems that more fun seems to be had from fussin n fightin. I don't know anything about this album btw. Is it good or do we all have to keep reading rows forever?

I became a fan of The Beatles around 1979. The first albums I got were Revolver and Let It Be. I had also listened to my neighbor's copy of Sgt. Pepper's several times. I was just discovering the whole Beatles universe and what they had been doing since they split up. My parents got me "At the Speed of Sound" as a birthday present in November of 1980. This album severely disappointed me because it was nowhere near as good as Revoler,Let It Be, or Sgt. Pepper. I was finding out that the solo stuff wasn't always the same quality as The Beatles stuff. The only song I liked on the album was Let Em In. I hated Silly Love Songs. The rest of the songs didn't do anything for me. It was all so bland. I wondered what had happened to Paul. Why were these songs so much worse than his Beatles songs? Unfortunately,John was murdered a month later. For the next several years,I forgot all about Wings and became a huge fan of John's solo stuff,especially the "Plastic Ono Band" and "Imagine" albums. Like alot of people,I put John on a pedestal and dismissed Paul-mainly based on having "At the Speed of Sound" as my only Wings or solo Paul album to judge his work by. Later on,I gave Paul another chance and explored more of Wing's and his solo work. I liked alot of it much better than I liked ATSOS. Thank God all his stuff wasn't that uninspiring.
